The Help Paradox

When your inner monologue goes from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "Wait, what if I actually don't know what I'm doing?" That's not imposter syndrome anymore—that's your brain executing a recursive self-doubt function with no base case! It's like when you've been faking your way through a codebase for so long that you start wondering if Stack Overflow should charge you rent. The shower thoughts hit different when you realize you've been copying and pasting for three years and still can't explain how that one function works.

Someone said to make function names self-explanatory, and buddy took it literally . The irony is palpable as they create a function called "selfExplanatory" with increasingly chaotic casing and naming conventions, then ask "Am I doing it right?" Meanwhile, the only response is just an opening parenthesis - the universal symbol for "I've given up trying to explain this to you." Nothing says "I understand coding best practices" like completely missing the point while technically following instructions.
